Made for the life of every human being
Enriching lives goes beyond patient care. Through initiatives promoting equality, wellbeing and community, we are shaping a future where every individual can thrive.
Our commitment to social value underpins everything we do, ensuring our impact resonates far beyond the products and services we provide.
For us, social value is about extending care beyond our products and
services to create lasting benefits for individuals, communities, and society.
It reflects our commitment to fostering equality, diversity, and inclusion in
our workplace, supporting the NHS’s priorities for health equity, and
empowering communities through impactful partnerships.
From investing in programmes like RESPECT and RESPECT TOO that help young people stay in education, to championing sustainable practices and fair employment opportunities, we are focused on delivering meaningful change. We align with the NHS Evergreen framework and the UN Sustainable Development Goals to ensure our actions contribute to a healthier, fairer, and more sustainable world.
By working hand-in-hand with the NHS and our communities, we are
building a future that uplifts society. Placing care, equity, and opportunity at
the heart of everything we do.

Equality, diversity
and inclusion
An inclusive and diverse workplace is foundational to our vision of enriching every life we touch.
Our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives are designed to foster a culture where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. From training to increase awareness of biases, to creating spaces for open dialogue, we prioritise a workplace where all perspectives are welcomed.
Enriching communities
through partnerships
We have developed close partnerships with communities and charities that promote good health and wellbeing in the UK and internationally.
Through projects in Uganda and Kenya, we help reduce illnesses caused by indoor air pollution and a lack of clean water. In the UK, we sponsor the training and pairing of support dogs to provide life-saving assistance and also back multiple initiatives that promote healthy lifestyles and strengthen communities.
